Loops Causing BPMs to fall Out of Sync After Recent (2-3 weeks) Update

Model: MacBook Air (M1)
Version Operating System: MacOS 15.0.1
Version of DJAY: 5.2.4
Hardware/controllers: I experience issue without a controller, but it does show up when I use my controller (PIONEER DJ DJ Controller (DDJ-400)

Summary of the issue:
I noticed this after the September/October Update: Certain songs would fall out of sync if they were left on loop. I could work around this by switching on/off the loop, but if you left the song on loop, it appears to play without the AI beatmatching for you.

How to reproduce the issue:
I usually work with older music, so it should be replicable utilizing a non-gridded song with a gridded one, but it does appear when I use two older songs as well. I’m able to reproduce it with This is Halloween - The Citizens of Halloween and I want to dance with somebody - Whitney Houston, but there were quite a few other songs I’ve had this issue with, but it isn’t universal.

Hi @AMS, thanks for the details about your setup and the issue. To help clarify what you’re experiencing, can you please try to capture a video of the issue, upload it to your Google Drive/Dropbox, enable sharing permissions, then share a link to the video here? Thanks!

Not 100% if you can hear the sound in the recording, tho you can see the song go out of sync, but here is the link:

The software is unusable for me as a result.

Hi @AMS, thanks for the video, but as requested above, enable sharing permissions on the Google Drive file so I can view it.

Sorry about that. I thought the link worked direct, but see where I messed up. This should work.

Thanks @AMS, the video is very helpful. In the djay Settings>General>SYNC MODE>Sync Type do you have it set to BPM and Beats? Can you please share a screenshot of your full sync settings? Thanks!

Here you go. Am I missing something in my setup?
